Raw Shea Butter - 100% Pure African Unrefined Shea Butter for Hair | Skin Moisturizer for Face and Body | Use for Soap Base, DIY Whipped Lotion, Lip Balm - 8 oz Block

After reading the reviews, I ordered this shea butter instead of one I tried before as I wanted a larger quantity. It was a great decision! It has a very mild scent, great feel, and works perfectly in my homemade shea butter/almond oil/lavender & mint essential oil mixture. It whips beautifully using a small spoon (small batch).

Ive been using this brand shea butter and other products for years. I find the quality of this butter to be pretty good quality because the it has a smooth texture and it last for years before going rancid, as ive never had any gone rancid. I buy it by the pound and the more you buy the better the price, but for my use getting it by the pound is a good deal. Shea butter has a slight scent but it is natural as it is 100% shea. If you smell anything more then that it could be bad, but they have great customer service if you happen to have an issue. This product may feel greasy if used alone but it does absorb eventually. I use this to make a body butter so i mix with a few other ingredients and use for an all over moisturizer.

Great product! Smells and feels just like Shea butter should. Works very well for my DIY salves.

Prior to purchasing this, I had only ever used the yellow shea butter by a different company. While waiting for this one to arrive I bought a tiny jar of the white butter at Whole Foods because I was completely out. While I like the other brand, I absolutely LOVE Better Shea Butter's brand; it is not whipped (the Whole Foods brand was) and was soft, pliable, easy to apply to my skin. Sometimes I get excited when I get a new product and tend to use too much, so I took it easier with this and it paid off. I only use a small amount for skin moisturization and it does moisturize superbly.I will admit to a rather complicated skin care routine as I am a product junkie, but here is what I do to keep my body smooth and soft: argan oil goes on my skin first thing after a shower, then shea butter, then Kiehl's body lotion. I have experimented with various butters and oils; coconut oil (too greasy and does not absorb well), avocado butter (good, but greasier than shea), cocoa butter (very greasy but does the job), sesame oil (terrible, does not absorb at all and leaves skin strangely dry beneath the oil), olive oil (will do in a pinch when I am out of argan oil). But shea butter is my all-time favorite because it has a bit of sun protection in it - my fair skin does not burn but turns a nice golden color.All that said, I didn't know what I was missing by using the yellow butter rather than the white! The texture is smoother and does not harden even in my air-conditioned house. It absorbs into the skin even better than the yellow and this brand better than the other white butter I bought (AAA brand). It is a massive amount that I am sure will take me through the summer. And even though temperatures here in the South are in the upper 80s right mow, this chunk-o-butter arrived only soft, not melted though it had been on a carrier vehicle all day. It would have even been okay with me if it were melted but nice that it wasn't.I had some pesky dry skin flaking off my legs (why is it that legs dry out more than arms even when less exposed to the elements? One of life's mysteries...). Even with exfoliation and my meticulous skin care routine the condition persisted. However, this shea butter has significantly reduced the problem with just two applications and I fully expect it to be "cured" with several more uses. This is real shea butter, folks - the best I've used. The price is actually a steal too.I can't comment on use for hair or face. My hair is too fine to withstand heavy oils and butters but I bet that someone with thicker or more coarse hair would benefit greatly from it. My skin is pretty oily right now so I can only see myself using it there in the wintertime when skin is drier.I am greatly impressed with this company's customer service. Isabella has been right on top of things with personal emails thanking me for my order and information on downloading recipes. That she has taken time to do this with each and every person who places an order speaks volumes about her business ethic. I had pored over the reviews for this shea butter as well as other brands and was satisfied that all the reviews were genuine. She also responded to the few negative reviews with grace. This is a company who believes in its product and cares about its customers, and I am happy to recommend this outstanding product.

Love this shea butter. I make my own lotion and body butter, so this is perfect. It melts easy on a double boiler and mixes smoothly with the other oils I add. You can also use it by itself. It melts when you start rubbing it into your skin. It soaks right in so you're not greasy. I will buy it again.

I’ve tried several brands of shea butter over the years for my handmade soap business, and this one is hands-down my favorite. It’s 100% unrefined, super creamy, and melts down beautifully without any graininess. The natural nutty scent is a true sign of quality — no weird chemical smells here.I love how it blends perfectly with my oils and essential oils, and it adds such a rich, moisturizing feel to my soaps that my customers constantly rave about. A little goes a long way, and the texture is perfect for both cold process and melt-and-pour soaps.If you're making body butters, lotions, or soap, this is the shea butter you want. Pure, rich, and consistent every time. Will definitely be repurchasing!
